Although reptiles displaying mammal-like characteristics appeared around 300 million years ago, the first true reptiles evolved around 200 million years ago. Although it is not known what the first true mammal was, they are generally believed to have been small and shrew-like.

Did modern reptiles evolve from dinosaurs?
No, although modern reptiles and dinosaurs do share common ancestors that lived in the distant past (likely the Carboniferous epoch). Birds, however, evolved from dinosaurs in the Jurassic epoch.

How long ago was the Lewis and Clark expedition?
The Lewis and Clark expedition took place from 1804 to 1806, making it approximately 215 years ago.
Did humans evolve from reptiles?
No, humans did not evolve from reptiles. Both humans and reptiles share a common ancestor from millions of years ago, but they evolved along separate paths.
Are cats older than dinosaurs?
No, dinosaurs existed before mammals. Reptiles and amphibians existed as long ago as 359.2 million years ago, while the first mammals didn't appear until 251 millions years ago.
Did modern reptiles evolve from dinosaurs?
No, although modern reptiles and dinosaurs do share common ancestors that lived in the distant past (likely the Carboniferous epoch). Birds, however, evolved from dinosaurs in the Jurassic epoch.
Is dinosaur a mammal?
No. In fact, dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds. Mammals separated from reptiles (a large group that still included what would become dinosaurs) about 300 million years ago, and birds evolved during the Jurassic period about 150 million years ago.
Who were the ampbhibians ancestor befor dinosaurs?
Reptiles evolved from labyrinthodont amphibians around 315 million years ago. Hence all amniotes (reptiles, birds, and mammals) descend from the labyrinthodonts.
When did the sea urchin evolve?
a long time ago.
Are human beings related to reptiles?
Ultimately all organisms are related. Humans are mammals, which are not closely related to reptiles. Mammals and reptiles belong to a group of animals called amniotes, which they also share with birds. Amniotes include all land vertebrates except amphibians. The last common ancestor of mammals and reptiles lived over 300 million years ago in the Carboniferous period. Shortly after the first amniotes branched off from amphibians they split into synapsids, which became the ancestors of mammals, and sauropsids, which became the ancestors of birds and all modern reptiles.
When did the first mammals walk the earth?
A very long time ago.
Did dinosaurs evolve from reptiles?
Yes, dinosaurs did evolve from reptiles. They are part of a group called archosaurs, which also includes modern birds and crocodiles. Dinosaurs evolved from a group of reptiles called archosauriforms during the Triassic period.
How long is the age of mammals?
It is thought that the age of mammals started when the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
What is the sequence of vertebrate evolution?
Jawless Fish were first, then jawed fish, then fleshy finned, ray-finned and other modern jawed fish evolved, amphibians and sharks were evolving at about the same time, reptiles evolved from amphibians, mammals and birds were both evolving at about the same time( both from reptiles), dinosaurs were also evolving at this time and about 100 million years later the asteroid hit the Earth and Mammals started to takeover where dinosaurs had been and 200000 years ago we evolved.
When did reptiles start to evolve?
About three hundred million years ago. "The origin of the reptiles lies about 320-310 million years ago, in the steaming swamps of the late Carboniferous, when the first reptiles evolved from advanced reptiliomorph labyrinthodonts. The oldest trace of reptiles is a series of footprints from the fossil strata of Nova Scotia, dated to 315 million years ago. The tracks are attributed to Hylonomus, the oldest known reptile in the biological sense of the word. It was a small, lizard-like animal, about 20 to 30 cm (8-12 in) long, with numerous sharp teeth indicating an insectivorous diet." (According to Wikipedia)
